To aZZwwm it may concern. i

Be it known that I, GEORGE U. TOMPERS, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSyringe-Holders, of wh1ch the following is a specification.

This invention` relates to improvements `1n syringe holders, and moreparticularly to that class of holders which maybe used either forexternal appliance, as with an ordinary hot water bottle, or as asyrlngereservoir for vaginal, rectal, Venema or other suchapplications..

An object' ofthe present invention is' to l provide such a device whichmay be more effectively and convenientlyroperated than in previousconstructions, which will permit -a comfortable 'and naturalv use of thesame, and

enable a greater or less pressure to be givenl to the liquid, asdesired.

Another VobJect is to provlde such a device which may be readily usedfor external applications, of such a shape that 1t will conform tovarious portions of the b ody:

Withthese and other objects 1n vlew, my invention consists of the novelfeatures, arrangement and construction ofparts, hereinafter more fullydescribed and pointed out in the claims. l y,

In the drawings, Figure 1 1s a perspectlve view of my improved holder;Fig. 2 is an end view of the same; Fig. 3 is asectlonal view thereof;Fig. 4 is a sectional view` showing a slightly modified form ;.Fig. v5 asection of my holder used .as an air-cushlpn, with syringe attachmentFig. 6 1s a sectlon of a slightly -modied form used as an'air-` cushion;and, Fig. 7 is av'detail showing the nozzle connection.

Similar reference characters indicate cor.-

responding partsl throughout the ,severall views. y

Referringto the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. land 3 thereof,a clrcular or othersuitably shaped receptacle 1 of rub-y ber, having acentral opening 2-therethrough,

" and arubber disk 3 secured to its top, is provided at one end with afilling passage 4, into which a stopper 5 is screwed, and at its other:end with an outlet openmg 6 andzrubber tube 7. The said rubber disk 3is providedce'ntrally with anaperture 8, and a portlono'f the sameopposite the outlet endfof the holder A is left unsecured, as at 9', "to`form algiap of this last construction is shown inFig. 6',

underL which the end of the rubber tube 7 Patented oct. 24, 1,916.

passes, and isconnected tothe nippled end of a pipe 10. rIhe said .pipe10 is secured to a water chamber 11, which is secured to a means of athreadedprojection 13 and recess l rubber nozzle 12 throughthe aperture8 by 14 'on the chamber and nozzle respectively.

- The threaded portion of the nozzle is preferably of metalas shown in Fig. 7. It will be seen that when illed, as shown in Fig. 3, any

pressure on the top of lthe holder, caused by the weight of the personusing the same, will force the water through the tube and out ofopeningis dispensed with, and the end of the rubber tube 7 is providedwith a threaded nipple 15 of metal, hard rubber, 4or the f like, whichis screwed into the filling opening after the rreceptacle is filled.

In'Fig. 5 I have illustrated .a form wherein the receptacle is filledwith `air, through .a

valve 16, to form a cushion, and the pipel 10 is suppliedwith waterthrough a tube 17 con#` nected to a` suitable receptacle at a higher-7 1llevel (not shown). lAslightly modified form.

wherein the top `rubber-'disk is dispensed w1th' and the receptacleisprovided with a centralweb 1 8 having an' aperture 19 through which thenozzle is attached tothepipe 10. -The holderin'this form is preferablycorragated,'as at 2Q, for passage of the'tube under y the same.

When it is desiredto use the holder for ex? v ternal application,zt henozzle 12, water-tube opening- Gv-isclosed, whereupon the' holder" 7,and vpipe 10 arejremoved and the outlet is filled with water: andthestopper "placed in the `filling opening 4.- In` this way a most!conveniently shaped hot water bottle is prolj ,I .100 In theembodiments, the web has an apervlded.
